This song is about a shift of focus from things we can and often easily meausure to things we cannot measure. Lyrics: Way of the world is to measure it all It makes life simple and clear Length times width multiplied by depth Storage compartments to keep stuff near Count by numbers, or A-Z Sort by colors or small, medium, large Test for introvert or extrovert Tell how to learn by pictures or sound In the end the  things that count most can’t be so easily scored The love of a parent The trust of a child the hope of a student the drive of a musician Get out to world and notice the ways measurements tell the story for all Three miles to the rink; five to the mall  Fifteen minutes to cross town in traffic Buy food in pounds, pints and ounces Count carbs sugars salts and fat. Check the smart watch for important stuff Blood pressure and heart rate  texts or calls In the end the  things that count most can’t be so easily scored the urge of a lover the joy of a singer the spirit of a teacher the dream of a grandma Take a new tack get out of the rut Find new ways to frame the world Let actions give meaning and feel to a world that is far too strict. In the end the  things that count most can’t be so easily scored The love of a parent The trust of a child the hope of a student the drive of a musician the urge of a lover the joy of a singer the spirit of a teacher the dream of a grandma
